    Recipe Introduction


    I had a request from ArnoldS for these. Hope either of the
    2 recipes listed is what he was asking for.
    Amaretti (ah-mah-REHT-tee) -
    An Italian almond macaroon cookie. The Italian word "amaro" means "bitter,"
    and the literal translation of "amaretti" is "the little bitter ones."
    Called amaretti
    because they are flavored with bitter almonds.
